Hotels @ Velachery,Chennai

Just want to share some info about the Hotels in Velachery.

1. Nalas Appa Kadai Non-Veg (8/10)
Wonderful place to dine. Reasonable price. The only thing is you have to plan a bit early if you would like to have your dinner there :-(, its that crowded. Appam, with coconut milk is the highlight of appa kadai. Located just opposite to VijayaNagar Bus stand

2. Nawaz Dharbar Non-Veg(8/10)
Formerly known by bhai kadai. You can get really good Mutton Briyani. You can't get better Briyani anywhere in Velechery. The thing to be noted here is the quality of Briyani seems to get worse when the shop moved from ViayaNagar Bus Stand to the 100 ft Road. Reasonable price and worth for money.

3. MCV Non-Veg (8/10)
Minerva Chetinad Restaurant Located in the Velachery-Tambaram highway just arround 300 meters from VijayaNagar Bus Terminus. Its really worth having chetinad food there. The highlight of mcv is vangram meen kulambu & viral meen kulambu. I love having Neethili fry in mcv. You can also get good rottis, Naans and other Tandoori dishes. I am not aware of the Vegetarian food here. Reasonable price. Worth for money. Minerva will be safe till Anjappar opens a branch in Velachery.

4. Kumarakom Non-Veg (7/10)
Located aside of Velechery-Tambaram highway Nathella sambathu Chetty.You can feel the real taste of Kerala there. Price is a bit costly. Mallus you can have fun dining there.

5. Karaikudi Non-Veg (6/10)
Too costly and not worth for money. You will feel good at karaikudi till you get your bills. Located at Velachery-Taramani Highway , less than 1 km from VijayaNagar Busstand.

Other than the above you have Milan just opposite to VijayaNagar Bus stand. One can have food once in a month or so. Snow park is also a place to visit, you can get good dishes, deserts. The problem here is, it is heavily crowed thanks to TCS. Food fiesta just below Snow Park worth for money and for tandoori items.

Thanks for your comment.

I agree Karaikudi is the worst one here in velachery.

Hello Jerry,

I agree Karaikudi is scrap and no value for Money.

Even Nallas have increased their price and Quality had gone down.

I tried Moghuls Veranda, which is located around 1 min walk from TCS, Biryani is great, Better than anyother restaurant in Velachery, Specially the Combo Biryani which is priced very reasonable.

Tandoor too is good, specially Fish Achari Tika.

Tangri Kabab is the best i have ever tasted in any of the restaurants in Velachery.

Keep Blogging...

Sherly,
I had lunch @ Moghuls Veranda. Its good,cheap and worth dining there. Tasted all the dishes you mentioned here. Everything if great except Mutton Biryani. As you said i am impressed with all the tandoori dishes. Nice to find such a restaurant around Velachery.

Thanks for bringing it here.

Jerry,

Now im regular visitor to Moghuls Veranda. Their Everyday specialities is very unique in Velachery. Once i have tried Minitiffin,Crab Masala, Kheema Vadia, Egg 65, The specials are sometime mindblowing.

Now seems like they are going to open their Juice Counter in a day or two, i have tasted their speciality cocktail called Saudi Champagne it is mind blowing again.

Friends try to visit Moghuls Veranda, very good restaurant with a good value for money (priced very economical) with good taste.

NALAS AAPPA KADAI IS REALLY FAMOUS IN VALECHERY. THEY ARE HAVING SOME MORE BRANCHES IN CHROMPET AND OLD MAHABALIPURAM ROAD. AS UR WORD IN THERE THEY R CHARGING REASONABLE PRICE ONLY....SO ANYBODY WANTS TO ENJOY THIER FOOD MEANS JUST GO TO NALAS..

I found your page when looking for accommodation in Velachery - hotel as somewhere to stay rather than as restaurant! Do you have any suggestions for somewhere reasonably cheap in the area?

Found your page when looking for hotels in Velachery - but hotel as in accommodation, not restaurants! Seems you know the area. Any recommendations? Just need somewhere inexpensive for a few nights....
